Reagan Attempts to Sabotage
AIDS Funding, Local Protests
Planned for His Dinner June 9
Within days after a special on
AIDS done by Geraldo Rivera on
ABC's 20/20 program, and
during which Rivera indicted
Congress for dragging their feet
on research grants because most
of the AIDS victims so far have
been gay. President Ronald. Reagan sent a message to Congress
urging them to appropriate no
special funds for the disease's control and pressuring them to find
any necessary funds from existing
programs. The estimated funds
needed are $26 million. Congress
paid more attention to Rivera
than to Reagan and appropriated
$12 million on top of the $14
million now set aside for AIDS.
Reagan Coming to Town June 9

angered by Reagan's attempt to
sabotage AIDs research funding
